Last September, Zhang Wewei, an international relations professor at China’s Fudan University, remarked that it was open to question “whether the European Union can even survive until 2035.” For Europeans, it was an uncomfortable reminder that the world’s largest powers regard the EU, and Europe more generally, as a spent force. China sees Europe as divided and ineffective; Russia sees it as decadent and hypocritical; the US sees it as at risk of “civilizational erasure”. All view Europe as militarily weak and economically stagnant.
